Hentai genre
The word
ryona
(
リョナ
,
ryona
, a
portmanteau
of
ry?ki
("seeking the bizarre") and
onan?
("
masturbation
"))
is a type of
sexual fetish
in
hentai
wherein a protagonist is subject to
sexual
,
physical
or
psychological
abuse from an offender. The term is mostly used in connection to
Japanese culture
, although the themes of
misogyny
,
misandry
,
sadomasochism
,
schadenfreude
,
compassion
,
exoticism
and extremes
erotica
is seen in many other cultures.
The term
ryona
almost exclusively refers to the action of a
distressed woman
being abused by a man
. In a case where the target is male, it is more commonly called
gyaku-ryona
(
逆リョナ
,
gyaku-ryona
, "reverse ryona")
, and generally implies content with a female assailant and a male victim. The genre focuses exclusively on
fictional characters
in these situations. In some cases, the perpetrator could be a
monster
or other non-human being.
Because the fetish is very broad in scope, it often contrasted with or incorporates other, more common, fetishes such as
humiliation
,
sexual sadism
and
rape pornography
, in that ryona is a complex and nuanced voyeuristic fantasy fetish, a romanticized subgenre aimed at a female target demographic and are almost always of non-explicit sexual nature. Unlike
guro
(グロ) genre, ryona never progresses to the point of lasting physical harm or death.
